US Airways quietly retired its last Boeing 737-300 on November 26 from revenue service.
Aircraft 737-3B7 N530AU (msn 24412) operated flight US 1611 from Raleigh/Durham to the Charlotte hub ending 28 years of faithful service for the type. USAir was the launch customer of the 737-300 and received its first copy (N353AU, later registered as N374US) on November 28, 1984.
N530AU was delivered new on June 26, 1989. N530AU was immediately ferried to Miami.
US Airways still operates the Boeing 737-400. Southwest Airlines currently still operates the Boeing 737-300 and is now likely to be the longest operator of the type when retired.
